Estimate
A Pinot Noir with plenty of earth, firm tannins, a touch of underbrush, spring flowers, and loads of raspberries and black cherry fruit. The acids seem well-integrated and the tannins moderate, but fine.
Beams of tannin and acidity give the 2014 much of its personality...there is plenty of underlying intensity waiting to emerge.
Marked an assertive woody, toasty core, the fruit struggles to push through, with licorice, blackberry, loamy earth and tarry notes.
